High-performance Uvijet GS and AU inks – New, high-density inks deliver superb color vibrancy and a wide color gamut. Excellent inter-coat laydown produces solid backlit colors and prints. The inks also do not exhibit cracking when folded due to the low ink build.

High quality, high performance printheads – 3-level grayscale printheads deliver 3.5 pl native drop sizes up to 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, making use of 2,656 nozzles arranged across a width of 108 mm (4.25 inch).

Media crash detectors to prevent printhead damage – The carriage is equipped with media crash detectors on either side. These react to obstructions on the vacuum table to stop the carriage and prevent damage to the printheads.

Water-cooled vacuum table – A unique chilled vacuum table maintains the substrate temperature while printing and allows the use of thin heat-sensitive substrates, reducing media shrinkage and wrinkling.

Auto media thickness and position measurement – The Acuity Ultra R2 is equipped with a media detector mounted on the carriage. This is used to determine the position and thickness of the media.

Ink spitting to minimize machine downtime – The Acuity Ultra R2 is fitted with a spit function designed to reduce machine downtime. This maintains the print quality and helps to increase the overall consistency of the printed results.

Mechanical substrate detector – The Acuity Ultra R2 is equipped with media sensors positioned under the rear media tension rollers, with 3 sensors on the Acuity Ultra R2 5000, and 2 on the Acuity Ultra R2 3200.

Versatility on a massive scale

The Acuity Ultra R2 is not only ideal for traditional roll-2-roll out of home applications such as single billboards and signage, it’s also perfect for high-end indoor displays where close viewing requires images to be exceptionally clear and vibrant. With quality comparable to leading water-based inkjet systems, investing in an Acuity Ultra R2 can help propel your business into new markets.

With its massive format size, 2-up or 3-up multi-roll potential, and the ability to print on a broad range of materials, the Acuity Ultra R2 gives you the ability to profitably create exhibition graphics, POS displays, high-value graphic art, backlit displays, outdoor displays, outdoor signage and more.

Robust & Intelligent Machine Build

Superb build quality helps protect the investment in the Acuity Ultra Series. Substantial steel construction minimizes potential quality issues caused by vibration. Industrial quality components are used throughout the machine build for superb reliability.

No Vibrations

Linear motors for the printhead carriage ensure smooth edge-to-edge printing with no vibrations at the end of the run to deliver accurate ink drop placements. This means no loss in print quality at the print edge and superb registration.

Media Transport

A solid media transport system is also critical to the machine’s performance. Two pairs of rubberized rollers on the front and back of the printer deliver accurate media feed, and provide consistency over long print runs or when accuracy is needed for tiled applications.

Multi-roll Capability Maximizes Productivity

The ability to print multiple rolls simultaneously enables the Acuity Ultra to produce huge volumes of work. The 3.2 meter model features 2-up multi-roll potential, and the 5 meter model features 3-up multi-roll potential, which allows for multiple jobs to be printed simultaneously and maximize output. Designed for maximum efficiency with fast media changeovers and setup to ensure impressive uptime and ease of use.

Industrial UV Curing System

The Acuity Ultra R2 uses Honle LED lamps for the 6-color & 6-color plus white printer configurations, or UV lamps for the high speed double CMYK configuration, ensuring block free production.

High-quality, high-performance printheads

3-level greyscale printheads deliver 3.5 pl native drop sizes up to 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, making use of 2,656 nozzles arranged across a width of 108 mm.

Mechanical Substrate Detector

The Acuity Ultra R2 is equipped with ultrasonic media sensors positioned under the rear media tension rollers that detect when media is loaded onto the machine and alert the operator if there is a fault with the media loading, for example if a roll of media has run out, or the media is not tight.

Water-cooled vacuum table

A unique chilled vacuum table maintains the substrate temperature while printing and allows the use of thin heat-sensitive substrates, reducing media shrinkage and wrinkling

Ink Spitting

The Acuity Ultra R2 is fitted with a spit function designed to reduce machine downtime. This maintains the print quality and helps to increase the overall consistency of the printed results.

Designed with the operator in mind

As well as technical enhancements to the Acuity Ultra R2, there is a strong focus to reduce maintenance and improve serviceability for the operator. A new intuitive GUI, smoked panels allowing the user to view print safely during production, and the integration of clean and dirty working areas to avoid contamination, are all examples of the developments that ultimately save time and money and improve
overall price/performance.

Uvijet inks

High-performance Uvijet GS and AU inks

New,Uvijet GS and US high-density inks deliver superb color vibrancy and a wide color gamut. These new inks, delivered using 3.5 pl printheads, achieve maximum density with a low film thickness and ultra-low ink consumption. The result is a more flexible ink layer that resists cracking when folded and achieves a very low cost-in-use and higher profit per print.

Superb, High-Density White Ink

The new Ultra R2 has the ability to print high-opacity white as a base, spot color or top layer quickly and cost effectively. With optional white channels you can over-print white directly to clear material and flood white underprint or spot color white on dark substrates for expanded applications.

The Uvijet GS and AU ink systems are formulated by Fujifilm Specialty Ink Systems in the U.K. Using Fujifilm’s unique Micro-V ultrafine dispersion technology to maximize pigment loading, Uvijet UV and UV-LED curing inks deliver strong vibrant, lightfast colors with superb adhesion and flexibility, a wide color gamut and excellent spot color reproduction
